GM to invest $4 billion in U.S. factories as tariffs mount and EVs slow
General Motors is investing $4 billion to produce more gasoline vehicles in the U.S. to cope with the twin challenges of high tariffs and low demand for electric vehicles. Why it matters: The plan — which includes shifting some production from Mexico — will no doubt be viewed as a win for President Trump's tariff policies. But there's also a practical reason: if GM can avoid tariffs by building more cars in the U.S., it might as well build ones it knows it can sell. Driving the news: GM is adding production at plants in Michigan, Kansas and Tennessee beginning in 2027 GM's Orion Assembly plant near Detroit will be retooled to produce gas-powered full-size SUVs and pickups, scrapping an earlier plan to build electric pickups there. To meet strong demand for its gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox, GM is also adding production at its Fairfax Assembly plant near Kansas City, a portion of which is moving from Mexico. GM is also moving production of the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer from Mexico to its Spring Hill, Tennessee, plant. What they're saying: "We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," GM CEO Mary Barra said in a release. "Today's announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S and to support American jobs. We're focused on giving customers choice and offering a broad range of vehicles they love." Between the lines: Under Barra, GM bet heavily on electric vehicles, but sales have been slower than expected. The manufacturing moves allow the carmaker to expand production of high-profit vehicles most in demand — gas-powered trucks and SUVs — while leveraging excess U.S. factory capacity to avoid tariffs. GM said it will continue to produce battery-electric versions of the Equinox and Blazer in Mexico. It will also build some gasoline-powered Equinox vehicles in Mexico for non-U.S. markets. What to watch: GM said it is on track to begin production of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV in Fairfax by the end of this year.
